Yield and composition of lucerne strands in Central Otago after different winter grazing and weed control treatments
(New Zealand Grassland Association, 2014-12-01)
The effect of grazing date and time of spraying with a glyphosate/atrazine herbicide combination on a three year-old lucerne stand was studied on-farm in Central Otago. Total annual dry matter (DM) yield was highest in the ...
Integrating lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) into a high country merino system
(NZ Grasslands Association, 2014)
Farm systems in the dry sub-humid region of the Upper Waitaki predominantly graze merino ewes on extensive oversown and topdressed hill and high country. Smaller areas of flatter land are used to conserve winter forage ...
Understanding the role of spring grazing of lucerne in the Central Otago environment
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 2012)
The Lucerne for Lambs Sustainable Farming Fund
project used on-farm data and whole-farm modelling
to help farmers understand the impact of increasing
the amount of grazing dryland lucerne on Central
Otago farms. On-farm ...
Adapting farm systems to a drier future
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 2008)
In the Starborough-Flaxbourne area the local farming
community, alarmed at the increasing hill slope erosion,
set up a soil conservation group. Accelerated erosion
was a symptom of the past 12 years of below average
rainfall. ...
Sub clover, cocksfoot and lucerne combine to improve dryland stock production
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 2006)
The temporal (seasonal) pattern of dryland pasture and
stock production from four cocksfoot based pastures
(mixed with balansa, Caucasian, subterranean or white
clover), a ryegrass/white clover pasture and a pure lucerne
crop ...
Cocksfoot and lucerne productivity in a Pinus radiata silvopastoral system: a grazed comparison
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 2001)
Plant and animal production from cocksfoot pasture
and lucerne under 10–11 year-old radiata pine
trees (200 stems/ha) and from adjacent open
pastures (without trees) were measured from the
Lincoln University Silvopastoral ...
Plant population, yield and water use of lucerne sown in autumn at four sowing rates.
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 2012)
Successful establishment of lucerne requires an adequate
plant population to maximise yield and maintain stand
persistence. The impact of autumn sowing lucerne
at four sowing rates was investigated in a split-plot
experiment ...
Strain diversity of rhizobia occupying lucerne and Caucasian clover nodules in New Zealand high country soil
A poster summarising a study that aims to quantify nodulation and genetic diversity of
strains recovered from lucerne and Caucasian clover, grown in soils of low pH and high aluminium.
Growth and root : Shoot dry matter partitioning in seedling lucerne
(2012)
Sowing date affected shoot and root biomass yield in seedling lucerne.
Biomass partitioning to roots was influenced by photoperiod and water stress.
Modern lucerne management
